Confirmed from Washington Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly park has a playground, skateboard ramps and BBQs.
What runners say about Washington Park
“It's well maintained and the awning came in handy for the sudden shower that came in while we were talking and catching up with friends from a VA group.”
“Beautiful clean and safe.”
“It's on the smaller side, but still nice and not crowded at all any time I drive by it.”
My traveling companion and I took my dog and our lunch here after the pizza place lady said only service dogs were allowed on the patio. It's a nice, big, clean park. There's even thick, green grass here. We sat at a table under the big shade cover.
Lots of things to do and lots of space right when the Sun starts to set I usually take a walk I started the back end of the boys & girls club and loop around the whole park a few times a good walk and it's bubble ground which is a plus for me
Nice place for visiting, whether walking, biking, pickle ball, tennis, and there is a public pool. They also have sports for children.
